GLOSSARY GL – 1 GLOSSAR Y Glossary Glossary Glossary Glossary Glossary A A A A A access To obtain data from, or place data into, RAM, a register, or data storage device. access time The interval between the issuing of an access command and the instant that the target data may be read or written.
GLOSSARY GL – 2 central processing unit (CPU) The heart of the computer system that executes programmed instructions. It includes the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) for performing all math and logic op.
GLOSSARY GL – 3 digital magnetic recording See magnetic recording. direct access Access directly to memory location. (See random access). direct memory access (DMA) A mean of data transfer between the device and host memory without processor intervention.
GLOSSARY GL – 4 frequency response A measure of how effectively a circuit or device transmits the different frequencies applied to it. In disk and tape drives this refers to the read/write channel. In disk drives, it can also refer to the dynamic mechanical characteristics of a positioning system.
GLOSSARY GL – 5 late window A data window that has been shifted in a late direction to facilitate data recovery. latency A delay encountered in a computer when waiting for a specific response. In a disk drive there is both seek latency and rotational latency.
GLOSSARY GL – 6 P P P P P parallelism 1. The condition of two planes or lines being parallel. Important in disk drives because a lack of it in mechanical assemblies can result in positioning inaccuracy. More precisely: planes-coplanar; lines-colinear.
GLOSSARY GL – 7 S S S S S sector A logical segment of information on a particular track. The smallest addressable unit of storage on a disk. Tracks are made of sectors. sector pulse signal A digital signal pulse present in hard sectored drives which indicates the beginning of a sector.
GLOSSARY GL – 8 strobe offset signal A group of digital input signal levels which cause the read PLL and/or data decoder to shift the decoding windows by fractional amounts.
